[Zope] passing a dtml-var to another method: dtml-let has no effect?

[Panos Hilaris]

   Thanks for your answer.  I am new to zope and even though I am reading the zope book, I have not grasped completely the 
namespace stuff.
 
   For my problem, I used something like:

<dtml-call expr="REQUEST.set('x','foo')">

   Also, thanks for your link.

With friendly salutations,
Panos Hilaris
